Dinner this week

Planning our meals for the week on a Saturday morning is quite beneficial. I have found that the week night dinners are much less stressful. Yet I have found that I can still be flexible with dinners when I'm just not "feeling it". We do always have plenty of eggs here, so a quick egg sandwich, scrambled eggs or omelet is healthy option.

As I'm here, racing against the winds, hoping to get this post up before we lose power (thank you, Sandy) - here's the menu for the week.

Tonight - Izzy and I had chiropractic appointments - so a quick meal of Ham & Cheese paninis was in order. Always a great dinner in my opinion - since I top mine with tomatoes, spinach, cukes, as well.

Tuesday - I planned ahead and I'm assuming we'll be without power later on tonight and into tomorrow, so I put together a huge vegetable soup yesterday and it's in the refrigerator waiting to be either rewarmed on the stove or warmed up on the wood stove. Either way, it's going to be yummy!

Wednesday - Halloween. So a quick pizza meal and we'll be out and about Trick or Treating!

Thursday - Sesame Chicken w/ rice will make a reappearance. It was a hit last week - so I'll be doing another chicken in the crock pot and then making the delicious sauce for the chicken.

Friday - Leftovers.

Saturday - I am not really sure. I put waffles here. The kids really want waffles more often and I sure love them too!!!

We have chicken with potatoes and carrots, sausage and sauce all cooked in the crock pot and pork chops in the fridge. Veggies I have broccoli, the spaghetti squash I didn't cook from last week and asparagus. That's what's on board for this week!

It all sounds delicious! Stay safe- I'm thinking of all of you on the east coast. That's perfect that you can warm your food up on the wood stove if you have to- we grew up with a wood stove too, so cozy!

You;re so good! I *try* to do a weekly menu….and it's just me and my husband. And it doesn't always happen as planned :) I think it's a great practice….but as I look at my board it's from so many weeks ago, I can't even remember how many weeks it's been! Your dinner sound like the perfect balance of simple and yummy too!

Runners need happy feet. I think the nail polish really adds the happy touch on my feet because we know they definitely are not pretty!
Needing happy feet means sometimes we need to take extra measures to take care of them. Profoot could be the perfect place for you to turn for your foot needs. I was contacted by Profoot a bit ago to try out some of their products. I was happy to do so and Izzy, of course, was pleased to be my little model for the photo shoot. First up - The 2 oz Miracle orthotics

These are great! I cut them to size. Trust me, this is easy because all you had to do is cut along the lines. They are incredibly thin and easy to fit in just about any shoe.

On the way to Mount Washington. I was the crazy, chatty self that I am. And Ward was focused a quiet. I drive him absolutely crazy. And Tucker is sleeping in the back trying to block me out.

PR dinner right here!!!! Nothing says run fast like a huge burger with an onion ring and fries! I remember eating something similar just before I ran the MDI Marathon.

Parking lot yoga on a beautiful day. I wasn't the only one. But maybe I was the only one propping my phone against my water bottle to document it.

Leading up to the 2018 Mount Washington Road Race, I had severe doubts. I wasn't sure what to expect with this race. There are so many factors that go into this race. The training and time I put into the prep work, my fitness level, mental/stress levels, and the weather.

The first time I ran this race was in 2015. I had just run two marathons back-to-back, which were complete flops. Super rainy cold B…
